Already fixed.
Good find. Relevant bit:
Hi all (CEO & Founder, DuckDuckGo here). Looks like something may have broken in a release that went out today -- it is triggering a JS error. We're looking into it now and should have it resolved soon.
They're not sanitizing their inputs properly. Little Bobby Tables strikes again!
Might as well just go straight to Bing
Most results are for notepad++ for me, but i still get notepad results lower on the first page.

I’d love to know the “why” behind this bug. Assuming it’s not actually a feature!
According to commenters on HN it was a faulty regex.
Looks more like they didn’t sanitize the input properly, causing the top result Notepad++ be interpreted as a regex.
That's super useful.
Edit: it was a blank results page when I posted this comment
That's weird. So does notepad++
Definitely a you problem
Just did it. literally the first result was for notepad ++
That's just not true mate.
